20 Roll & Bread Recipes for the Thanksgiving Table

As you get ready to finalize your Thanksgiving menu, I urge you not to forget the bread. Despite an already packed table, there's always room for a bread basket. From classic, pillowy soft dinner rolls to a gluten-free version everyone will enjoy, here are 20 easy bread recipes that deserve a place on your Thanksgiving table.

Rolls

From no-knead rolls you can make in an hour to incredibly tender, potato-enriched morsels that melt in your mouth, homemade rolls are the quietly beloved staples of the Thanksgiving table. Here are a few recipes to choose from.

If a classic dinner is what you're after for Thanksgiving, these are the rolls to round out your spread. These are the classic rolls you know and love — soft and tender, yet weighty enough that they don't collapse under the bread knife.

Two things make these famous rolls special: first, each one is dipped in melted butter before going on the baking sheet, and second, they are folded in half to give them their signature pocketed appearance.

This rich and tender dinner roll recipe is one that everyone will enjoy, whether they're avoiding gluten or not.

Biscuits

Great for a last-minute addition, we think biscuits deserve a spot on the table regardless of your geography. Whether you want your biscuits tall and flaky or quick and tangy, there's a recipe to suit your needs.

These simple cream biscuits are a take on the ever-delicious and classic buttermilk biscuits. What you'll love more than the slightly crisp tops and pillow-soft insides is that these biscuits come together from start to finish in about 20 minutes.

This recipe, based on the recipe from a package of White Lily Flour, delivers the tender-yet-flaky biscuits the South is known for. As Meghan says, "If it takes longer than 20 minutes to whip these up, you're doing too much."

Breads

Here's where you'll find items for the Thanksgiving bread basket outside of the traditional rolls and biscuit category. For some, a skillet cornbread is a must. For others, a quick bread is enough for the table. Perhaps even a savory muffin is more your speed? Add a few wild cards this year, and see how quickly whatever you add to the table gets used to mop up all that gravy.
